Legal Matters
A
session begins billing at the time the client booked it for,
whether the client is present or not, and continues until the
final load out. Unless otherwise agreed, consecutive studio day rate
rentals (not hourly) are mandatory if gear or mixes are to be left
set up overnight. SoniQual accepts payment by Visa, MasterCard, or
cash. Half payment is due at the time of booking, and payment of
the remainder is due at the beginning of the session. Your deposit
will not be refunded if the session is cancelled with less than
one two week's notice. Exceptions will be made for serious illness
or other emergency.
Nothwithstanding any other agreement, all mixes, CD-Rs, hard drives, flash drives, master tapes, etc. shall remain the property of SoniQual until all invoices are paid in full.
Liability
By using the studio, the client agrees that SoniQual will not be are not legally or financially responsible – for any reason whatsoever – for items brought into or left on the
premises. It is recommended that clients obtain insurance to protect against possible damage, expense or loss of article(s) of value left used during any sessions or present on the premises. This includes master tapes, hard drives, or any media left at SoniQual during sessions or before. At the session’s conclusion, all equipment will be accounted for and inspected for damage. Any equipment damage must be reported immediately.
Digital Media Waiver
Make multiple backups of your data. Your data should not be considered safe unless there are at least two copies of the data somewhere. Three copies is preferred. This is YOUR responsibility! Backup copies of sessions in the digital realm should be made daily during the course of a session and taken home with the artist or producer at night. Post-session backups can be made onto external Firewire or USB hard drives, stored in an online data storage bank or burned to DVD-R or CD-R. There is no certainty that a CD-R or DVD-R will hold data for the long term or that a stored hard drive will play back after sitting for any amount of time so back up your data to newer media as time goes on. We highly recommend purchasing quality, name brand hard drives.
